About
Epic Beers Limited trading as Pitchfork Ales may be a new company but it’s history can be traced back over 30 years! Directors, Mark Davey and Graham Dunbavan were instrumental in the growth and famed reputation for quality that was gained by RCH Brewery from 1983 through to 2017 when it unfortunately went in to liquidation. Made redundant, Mark and Graham saw an opportunity – the beers that Graham had lovingly developed and brewed were far too good to die with the old company and so, Pitchfork Ales was born.

Cask @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Very dark with a creamy off-white head. There's only a hint of chocolate, and its texture feels a little thin for it. Has a fine aroma though.
